VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON
A meeting of the Virginia Democratic Asso-
citation of Washington, was held at their
rooms in that city last night. Representa-
two W. G. 2. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, de-
livered an address in which he said that
when the democratic party came into power
two years ago it was without leaders, and
that the President was unknown to most of
the prominent men of the party. Never
having been in any legislative body he was
untrained in the management OF great
party, and it was to be expected that ne
would make mistakes, and while Mr.. Cleve-
land had not done as the speaker would
have done, still he had not thought proper
to criticise his actions.
Referring to Virginia he said if she can be
kept in the democratic ranks all will be
we'll, but if not, then there was great danger
of the party not succeeding ia 1888. But,
said he, "you must beat Malone and let all
other questions go. First, make it certain
that Virginia ia democratic, and then it will
be time enough to talk about the tariff civil
service, or even the tobacco tax" Conclud-
ing he said if the democratic party gets out
of power it will be long time before it will
ever get back again The minutes of the
last meeting were read from, and it appear
ed that the committee appointed to ascer-
tain By what influence Mr.. Abrahams was
appointed to high position in the Treasury
Department reported that they were unable
to agree upon report, and they we're then,
on motion, discharged from the farther con-
sideration of the subject.

down his decision on the motion of the de-
fendents for discharge from arrest. The de
iendents were placed under arrest for plac-
ing boycott on the company during the

that the defendants interfered with the bus
mess of the company, which was that OF
common carrier, aud therefore denies the
motion for release from arrest.
The Supreme Court of Connecticut, has

THE WEST VIRGINIA SENAToRsHIP.-
The West Virginia Legislature adjourned
last night without electing a United States
Seaator to succeed Mr.. Camden. Gov. vii.
son will have the appointment OF a Senator
to serve until the Legislature to be elected
in 1888 fills the vacancy. During the even
ing democrats and republican held confer
ence with closed doors. In the republican
conference 81 motion was made that the
members stay out of joint assembly, in
which event the twelve recactrant dem
ocrats would either have to break quorum
or see Camden elected. but the motion was
lost. In the democratic council heroic at
Temps were made to agree on man, but

themselves to drop Camden altogether
their idea being to hedge against thepossbil

to accede to the terms ofthe kick ers, and the

An Extra Session OF the hegisIaiur,


Governor Lee yesterday issued his proc.a
nation calling the Legislature to NEE; in
extra session on March 16 While no men
ton is made of it in the proclamation, it is
generally understood that the reason for re-
converting tbs General Assembly at this
time is to consider the embarrassments that
have resulted to the State from the recent
coupon litigation in the courts. The reyis'
ers of the code expect 10 have their work
completed by the first of April, and thi:
will have to be sabaitted to the Legislature.
Yesterday the State board OF indemnity, Of
which Gov. Lee is a member, discussed the
debt question, but it is believed no measure
was suggested which promised to remedy
the present troubles. During the past two
weeks Gov Lee has seen many democratic
members of the Legislature and no doubt
received communications from Others. He
has been considering the question of calling
that body in extra session for some lime
past, but it is probable did not until very
recently conclude to do so. 1t is quite Ger.
tain that the debt question will be the mos!
important measure that will be considered
at this called session.

EXANDRIA.
SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 90.

SOME PEOPLE, who are utterly ignorant
of negro character, aud, strange as it may
seem, some who live in the South, have said
the action Of the President in nominating
colored man for position in Washington,
and the rejection of that nomination by q
republican Senate, would tend to divide the
negro vote. No man at all familiar with
negroes ever entertained such an idea, and
the following extract from letter Of }. Nj.
Laugston, one of the most intelligent men
of the race, to the New York Herald, should
be sufficient to dispel it from the minds OF
those who do:
Nothing less than cabinet position &C,
